RFK, Jr: Reasonable People Know J6 Wasn't An Insurrection

Say what you want about RFK Jr. — but at least he doesn’t shy away from the truth.

In a recent statement about the Capitol protests on January 6, 2021, the independent presidential candidate claimed that “reasonable people” know it wasn’t a “true insurrection.”

He stated bluntly, “I have not examined the evidence in detail, but reasonable people, including Trump opponents, tell me there is little evidence of a true insurrection.”

Of course, the MSM is dragging RFK Jr. through the rails over this.

Outlets like USA Today are using biased headlines like this one, calling it a ‘conspiracy theory’…

If I’m not mistaken, it’s not a ‘conspiracy theory’ to simply report that reasonable people do not believe J6 was an insurrection.

That’s just called a factual report.

Such bias.

Here’s more from the skewed USA Today report:

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. argued on Friday that the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack might not have been a “true insurrection,” and said that, if elected, he would appoint a special counsel to investigate whether prosecutions related to the attack were “politically motivated.”

“It is quite clear that many of the January 6 protestors broke the law in what may have started as a protest but turned into a riot,” Kennedy said in a statement. “Because it happened with the encouragement of President Trump, and in the context of his delusion that the election was stolen from him, many people see it not as a riot but as an insurrection.”

The attack occurred when a mob supporting former President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. It resulted in numerous deaths, injuries and hundreds of arrests. Federal prosecutors have charged more than 1,000 people for participating.

In the days after the attack, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump for his connection to January 6, which they deemed an “insurrection.”

But Kennedy said that, while he had not personally examined the evidence, “reasonable people, including Trump opponents,” suggested there was little evidence of a true insurrection.

And, here’s the headline MSNBC used:

Now, is it really ridiculous to say that reasonable people don’t believe the protests on J6 were an insurrection?

RFK Jr. isn’t even giving his opinion here. He’s just stating the facts of what he has been told and remaining impartial.

If you ask me, what’s truly ridiculous is how the MSM dogpiles on anyone who even slightly steps out of line from the official J6 ‘insurrection’ narrative…

More from how MSNBC chose to report on RFK Jr.’s statement:

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cast doubt on the gravity of the Jan. 6 , 2021, riots and suggested that the prosecution of rioters may have been politically motivated.

In a statement issued Friday — the third release from his camp on the topic of Jan . 6 in the span of 24 hours — the presidential hopeful said that although he had not “examined the evidence” himself, “reasonable people, including Trump opponents, tell me there is little evidence of a true insurrection.” As if to demonstrate just how unexamined Kennedy had left the evidence, he also incorrectly stated that protesters did not carry weapons, an assertion he later had to retract.

Kennedy called the riots “one of the most polarizing topics on the political landscape” and said that he wanted to “hear every side.” He also said that, if elected, he would appoint a special counsel “to investigate whether prosecutorial discretion was abused for political ends in this case.”
